Dynamic Copyright Year Customizer

1.4

• Fix: Gutenberg block now fully compatible with WordPress 6.x (tested up to 6.9.4).
• Fix: Replaced deprecated category: ‘common’ (removed in WP 5.8) with category: ‘widgets’ — block was silently failing to appear in the block inserter.
• Fix: Removed deprecated wp-editor script dependency (removed in WP 5.3) — replaced with wp-element and wp-block-editor.
• Fix: Block registration overhauled to use the modern block.json metadata file standard (required for WP 5.8+).
• Fix: Block name corrected to use valid hyphenated namespace (dyc-customizer/dynamic-year) instead of underscored namespace.
• Fix: Upgraded to Block API version 3 for full WordPress 6.x compatibility.
• Fix: Added block-editor.js with proper useBlockProps hook support for the editor preview.
• Fix: Added block-render.php for clean server-side rendering, replacing the old inline render_callback pattern.
• Enhancement: register_block_type( __DIR__ ) now auto-discovers block.json, eliminating manual script enqueueing.

1.3

• New: Live settings preview, start year for date ranges, hyperlink support, and a copyright symbol selector.
• Enhancement: Major user interface overhaul on the settings page for a better workflow.
• For Developers: New PHP template tag dyc_display_copyright() for theme integration.
